In January 2016, the number of business births kept growing (+3.1% following +1.4% in December for all entreprises, seasonally and working-day adjusted). This rise was a result of the significant upturn in start-ups excluding self-managed micro-entrepreneurs (+4.8%).

+0.7% year-on-year (quarterly basis)

The raw amount of births added up in the last three months edged up by 0.7% compared to the same months one year before. Sole proprietorships creations excluding self-managed micro-entrepreneurs shoot up (+26.4%). Transportation and trade were the sectors that most contributed to the overall rise1.

−3.2% year-on-year (twelve months basis)

The raw number of business start-ups totted up during the last twelve months came down by 3.2% year-on-year. This was the result of the sharp drop of self-managed micro-entrepreneurs' set-ups (–20.0%). Conversely, sole proprietorships creations excluding self-managed micro-entrepreneurs soared (+28.6%) and companies' start-ups also improved (+5.4%).

Two business set-ups out of five are self-managed micro-entrepreneur's registrations

In January 2016, micro–entrepreneurs' registrations amounted to 42.6% of business set-ups over the twelve last months. One year before, the share was 51,0%.
